BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY

The Bachelor of Technology degree has been developed to allow students who have graduated from an accredited Diploma
of Technology program in health sciences technology or engineering/applied science technology to complete a university
degree. The student receives credit for the diploma courses as a block and undertakes a series of courses, which may be
taken on a full time or part time basis to satisfy the degree requirements. For many of the courses, the student will have the
option of doing the course at a distance. These courses provide the student with exposure to general management concepts;
an understanding of the societal context in which their technology careers are based; and research, analysis and report
writing experience.

The program is administered by a Program Committee having representation from the Marine Institute (at which the
program is administered); the Faculties of Arts, Science, Business Administration, Engineering and Applied Science, and
Medicine; the Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy; and the College of the North Atlantic.

the courses in the Bachelor of Technology program are granted are required to complete additional electives chosen from
other university courses acceptable to the Program Committee.

c) Major Options
- Students will register in one of two options to complete their program.
- Students with Engineering/Applied Science Diploma will normally follow the program described under the Engineering
and Applied Science Technology Option.
- Students with a Health Sciences Technology Diploma will normally follow the program described under the Health
Sciences Technology Option. The Health Sciences Technology Program is required for students who wish to follow certain
career paths.
- Students may be permitted to change their option with the approval of the Marine Institute Undergraduate Studies
Committee upon the recommendation of the Program Committee.

COURSE LIST

Technology 4000. Technical Project and Report. This course provides a link between the other courses of the Program
and the technical component from the diploma. It gives the student the opportunity to carry out an in-depth study of a
technical topic in the broader context provided by the degree Program. The report will be written under the supervision of a
faculty member; both the topic and the advisor must be approved by the Program Committee.

Students may begin work on their project proposal informally at any time following admission to the Program but the
report must be completed within one year of the approval of the advisor by the Program Committee. This will normally be
towards the end of the period of studies required for the degree. Students will register for Technology 4000 in the semester
they expect to complete the course and must submit the report no later than 3 weeks before the end of this semester.
